Michelle Cole from Calmer Kids is an educational trainer and school leader with 20 years of experience working in schools - both in England and Australia. Her impact on raising attainment and outcomes for pupils led to her being awarded a 'Specialist Leader of Education Award by the National College of Teaching in 2015. 

For Michelle, cancer aged 30 was a wake-up call that she needed to do things differently. Over the past 10 years, her personal journey has helped her to balance her achievement-driven personality with well-being in all areas of her life. Studying for her Diploma in Positive Psychology, deepening her knowledge of habits  (and routines), and co-founding Calmer Kids with her sister Helen Boniface, helped Michelle to support not only herself but 100s of students, educators, and families.
